Tuesday was easily the best day of the week...sailed out to Port Washington

back making 7.5 knots the whole way.
WIth your theoretical hull speed of 6.7 kn, you must have been surfing those
big LIS rollers.
So if you think THS is a rule, then Scotty, Donal, Neal, Mooron and everyone
else here is a liar.
The C&C 32 easily breaks 7 knots and so did Ghost.
Did you see the exchange between Steve Dashew and the Wanderer in Lat 38?
Dashew tried to maintain that he averaged 10 kn in a boat twice the size of
yours, and he got slammed. So would you.
You are forgetting to adjust the numbers for the Bobsprit conversion
factor, sometimes abbreviated as the "BS factor". Seems to be about
50%. "Boat is worth twice what I paid for it" x 50%. "Boat cruises
above 7kn, tops 11 on occasion"...you get the picture. You are just
working with the raw, unadjusted data. Don't forget to apply the "BS"
adjustment and all will be fine
